5 DECORATOR’S WHITE CC-20, Benjamin Moore.
“This tried-and-true white is ideal for rooms that get a lot of light, as well as those that need it. It has a slight grey undertone, which is at once modern and classic.” — Jennifer Ferreira, Ferreira Design

6 GRAY 2121-10, Benjamin Moore.
“If you want to go dark in one space, the dining room is the place to do it. Give this smoky charcoal a try; great lighting and artwork will make this hue pop.” — Ali Budd, Ali Budd Interiors

5 BALBOA MIST OC-27, Benjamin Moore.
“It’s a very relaxing colour, which is exactly how a bedroom should feel. It’s also a neutral, so it works well with any shade of furniture and artwork.” — Jennifer Ferreira, Ferreira Design

6 WICKHAM GRAY HC-171, Benjamin Moore.
“This grey reads more as a soft blue but in the best way. It’s elegant and perfect for a bedroom, as it doesn’t feel too masculine or too feminine.” — Ingrid Oomen, Qummunicate

2 PITCH BLACK 256, Farrow & Ball.
“The powder room is the jewel box of the home. You want to open it up and be surprised. I often use this pure black, which allows accessories to take centre stage.” — Shirley Meisels, MHouse

3 CERISE SW 6580, Sherwin-Williams.
“A powder room is a great place to express oneself with paint and make a statement. Entirely envelop this small space in this hue for a seamless look.” — Christine Hanlon, Style at Home Contributing Editor, Christine Hanlon

4 TRUE PINK 2003-40, Benjamin Moore.
“This is a happy hue that gives off great energy in the morning and warm soothing vibes in the evening (think a candlelit bath). Mix it with paler shades like light greys and soft whites.” — Stacy Begg, Stacy Begg Design
